We have a huge clash at the Etihad Stadium with two of this season's title contenders facing off. Manchester City entertain Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola has suffered a blow as Kevin de Bruyne has not shown any form. The Belgian will miss the game due to an adductor injury he sustained in midweek. Ilkay Gundogan will start alongside Rodri and Bernardo Silva in midfield today.
Savinho retains his place in City's attack while Jeremy Doku is called up to start and Jack Grealish and Phil Foden are among the substitutes. Erling Haaland leads the attacking line once again and will look to continue his sensational goalscoring form.
Ederson remains in goal for Manchester City and Kyle Walker returns to the starting line-up at right-back. Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol are all in the starting line-up for the home side, with John Stones on the bench.
Arsenal have suffered a blow as Ben White is nursing a minor knee injury. The 26-year-old is only fit to come off the bench, meaning Jurrien Timber will start at right-back and Riccardo Calafiori will make his debut at left-back.
Guillermo Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are back in the starting elbow in Arsenal's centre of defence, meaning Jacub Kiwior remains on the bench. Thomas Partey keeps his place in midfield despite his poor performance against Atalanta in the final. Champions League On Thursday night, Jorginho will have to settle for a place on the bench.
Declan Rice He missed Arsenal's last league game: the win at Tottenham – due to suspension but he returns to the starting line-up today while Leandro Trossard also starts. Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli keep their places in the lineup, so Gabriel Jesus It's in the bank.
